Hanging out at the beach? Spending the day with your gardening tools? The sun can make your day….and wreck your hair. Being out in the sun will cause your hair to oxidize. The sun damages the hairshaft which causes it to not be able to hold the pigment.
So how do we keep our hair fresh without hiding indoors all day? Here are a couple of good pointers:
1) Where a headcovering that will cover your hair or the basic part that gets the suns rays s in the top of the head. Try the Wide headbands to cover almost the whole scalp area or the pre tied bandana for full coverage.
Cotton Bandanna
2) For short or long hair a square bandanna will do the job. The bandana can be folded into a triangle and placed over the head and tied in the back of the neck.
3) Put your hair in a french twist or bun. This will keep less of your hair exposed to the sun.
4) Use styling products that are sun protective (SPF). Keep in mind that the SPF will come out of your hair once you go swimming or shower. Try to avoid products with alcohol.
